3 Postdoc Positions in Trustworthy Systems based on Edge Computing - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

We are looking for post-docs that are interested in the general area of edge computing and applications, and will help with advancing the research in the competence center. The postdocs will work together with several research groups, as well as with industrial partners on relevant topics in the three major directions of the research center: safety, security and predictability. The work will include collaboration / co-supervision of PhD students, and we also offer the opportunity to participate in teaching. The focus of the work can be theoretical or systems-oriented, in the area of edge computing itself or in areas that will largely benefit from edge computing (e.g., AI). In all cases, incoming postdocs can expect to work with leading research teams, as well as with industrial partners that are standing for cutting-edge technology.

The positions are for one year with the possibility of one year extension. The duties of the postdocs include:

• Conducting innovative research towards predictable, safe, and secure edge computing and/or cyber-physical systems leveraging edge computing,
• Collaborating within the scope of the new center,
• Presentations of research at conferences and meetings, as well as publication of research papers in high-quality journals
• Potential involvement in teaching activities on M.Sc. and graduate level in relevant courses including coaching student projects.

What we offer

• An international workplace.
• A leading technical university that creates knowledge and expertise for a sustainable future.
• Being part of a team with high ambitions in an open, curious and dynamic environment.
• Access to a newly formed research center at the technological forefront, with very active and dynamic research groups collaborating in the research center.
• Ideal conditions to take the first stage in your path towards an academic career, by providing strong collaboration partners for top-tier research contributions and international networks, and mentorship by a diverse team of experienced researchers.

Qualifications

Requirment

A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.

The applicant shall have:

• PhD degree in computer science, electrical and computer engineering, or equivalent.
• Excellent ability to communicate both verbally and in writing in English.
• Ability to work independently and in a group.
• Documented multidisciplinary background and interest

Meriting experiences (one of the below is sufficient):

• Research experience in performance analysis and optimization of networked systems, including methodologies such as queueing theory, optimization, game theory, potentially applied to resource allocation, task placement, scheduling, queue management, etc. Experience with systems like 5G mobile networks and edge computing architectures, as well as with relevant applications (human-in-the-loop and/or cyber-physical systems) are a plus.
• Research experience in machine learning, probabilistic programming, formal verification, or human-machine interaction, and interest in research leading to safe machine learning and safe human-machine interaction are a merit.
• Research experience in design and cryptanalysis of secure networked systems, for example design of cryptographic primitives, algorithms or protocols for 5G mobile networks or edge computing architectures.
